Caramelized Onion Topping

1 chopped yellow onion
1-2 tablespoons olive oil1 tsp salt

Add chopped onion, salt and olive oil to pan, cover, stir and slowly cook till onion is amber brown. Add more olive oil if it starts to stick. It takes about 10-15 minutes, so boil your pierogi for 10 minutes while onion is caramelizing. Remove boiled pierogi on to a plate to cool (can add butter on plate too so they don't stick). Check onions, they should be soft and sweet and a dark amber color, not hard or crunchy. Add cooled pierogi to pan with onions, mix together gently and enjoy! Top with sour cream.

Onion & Sausage Pierogi Topping

Cook sausage according to directions, add onion and garlic and sauté until brown, then pour over a plate of boiled Pierogi. You can also sauté the cooked Pierogi with the onions and sausage for a crispy texture. Enjoy with sour cream or favorite mustard!

COMMENTS:

For some reason sugar had never crossed my mind. But it works fantastically. I did a variation, I had some mature Sour Cream that was a little on the cheese side and added brown sugar, minced garlic and fresh cracked black pepper. Amazing! Thank you!
